Please watch the video in the link above. This is just plain wrong. I find it very disturbing that as Americans we accept things like this. We seem to forget that we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We used to be respected as a nation, however it seems to me that as time marches on we have changed for the worse.

We show very little compassion for others and this is going to be our undoing. If we made any attempts to understand the people of other nations and acted in a manor that showed respect for their culture we would be much better off. The longer we are at war with assorted nations and religions, have things such as this canal, how are we going to be considered the leaders of the world.

Illegal immigration is NEVER going to change. Americans are NEVER going to go out to the fields and pick. Most Americans are NEVER going to be the maid in your hotel. Most Americans are NEVER going to be working in the slaughterhouses, be gardeners or the guy building your apartment complexes. The simple fact is that if we had wanted these jobs there never would had been the need to have other do these jobs. Do you think the U.S. gov't does not understand this. That is why there is no real action on immigration.

Remember without compassion for others not like you that you have closed your heart and mind to the many things that made America great.
